HC Deb 29 November 1993 vol 233 c343W
19. Mr. Devlin

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to ensure fair play in the allocation of Jubilee line construction contracts.

Mr. Norris

The award of contracts for the Jubilee line extension (JLE) is entirely a matter for London Underground Ltd. LUL has a duty to secure competitive tenders in a proper, legal fashion, having regard for EC directives, and to secure best value for taxpayers' money.
